HOW IT HAPPENED

First Half:

Lees-McRae went on the attack in the first minute of action as a run down the right side of the pitch allowed a ball to cross the face of goal but a Bobcat was not on the receiving end.

The Hawks had a chance in the sixth minute as the corner kick from Carolina Lucci found Lillian DeLucca inside the box but bounced off the keeper's chest and cleared away.

In the 11', Lillian DeLucca swiped the ball from the Bobcat defender and chipped the keeper from 25 yards out to the far post to put the Hawks up 1-0.

Kyra Cauthen would play a through ball up to Lillian DeLucca in the 33'.  DeLucca was fouled in the box by the keeper and awarded the penalty.  DeLucca would nail the PK and give the Hawks a 2-0 lead.

Second Half:

Sierra Gonzalez would corral a loose ball near midfield and slot a through ball up to Carolina Lucci on the right side of the box.  Lucci would take two touches and find the far netting for the 3-0 advantage in the 48'.

Chowan would continue to keep the Bobcats behind the ball for most of the half.

In the 88', Jaime Calcagno would find an opening but was unable to sneak it past the Bobcat keeper.
